Hi, I'm thinking about getting my SSCP BUT I want to do it in my free time without my work knowing as I want to move away from being a sys/network admin and go into security thus leaving the company.
But my question is then how would I prove my eligibility? I read somewhere that ISC will call your current and previous jobs to check your work experience, is this true?
They can call my previous jobs but not my current one of course as I dont want to stay.
But maybe my previous jobs are good enough to be eligible too. You have to have 1 year experience in one of the following domains:
- Domain 1. Access Controls.
- Domain 2. Security Operations and Administration.
- Domain 3. Risk Identification, Monitoring and Analysis.
- Domain 4. Incident Response and Recovery.
- Domain 5. Cryptography.
- Domain 6. Network and Communications Security.
- Domain 7. Systems and Application Security.
I have been a 1st line support functions in my previous 2 jobs (6 years in total), in both I had to create users and manage their access rights through AD, also some small things regarding security. Stuff 1st line does. Is that enough already for domain 1? I find it difficult what work experience falls exactly under the domains. In my current job I have experience in more of the domains but like I said I don't want them to contact my manager...
I hope anyone can make this clear for me, otherwise I'm going to have to go for the Comptia pathway I guess..
Thanks!
